This is heartbreaking.
Olympic skier Bode Miller is coping with unimaginable loss after his 19-month-old daughter Emmy drowned in a neighbor's swimming pool on Saturday, but he took to Instagram to thank his fans for all their support during this trying time.
"Thank you for all the love and support and to our midwives @lindseymeehleis and @courtneykellis for helping us find the support our family needs during this impossible time. Links in bio," he captioned a photo of the little girl.
This comes after the athlete confirmed the horrible news just one day earlier.
"We are beyond devastated. Our baby girl, Emmy, passed away yesterday. Never in a million years did we think we would experience a pain like this. Her love, her light, her spirit will never be forgotten. Our little girl loved life and lived it to it’s fullest everyday. Our family respectfully requests privacy during this painful time," he wrote on social media.
Miller and his wife Morgan are expecting their third child this October.
